Canadian GP set to return in 2010

Eurosport - Tue, 15 Sep 15:02:00 2009

The Canadian Grand Prix should return to the Formula One calendar next year according to the race's organisers.

2008 Canadian GP Honda Button - 0

Canada was not included in the 2009 season due to a dispute between local organisers, Grand Prix F1 du Canada and Formula One Administration , which holds the commercial rights to the F1 series.

"I am very happy, and fully satisfied, with this outcome. I have always been confident of being able to resolve the dispute," said Normand Legault, President and CEO of Grand Prix F1 du Canada in a statement.

"I am especially pleased that an announcement is forthcoming to the effect that the Canadian Grand Prix will be back on the FIA calendar as of 2010.

"I never doubted that the Canadian race would regain its rightful place on the schedule, and my discussions with F1 management led me to believe that the event would return soon," he added.

Legault said, however, that he would not remain involved as a local promoter.

The Canadian Grand Prix had been part of the F1 World Championship since 1967 and since 1982 has been held at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal.

My friends­ recommended me a very interesting place __­ Agelessmatch @ com __ It's a nice place for­ Younger Women and Older Men, or Older Women and­ Younger Men, to interact with each other. Age gap is­ not a problem there. You may wanna check it out.

  12. NICE TRACK WITH MANY PASSING POINTS!! GOOD FOR F1

  13. Bring back Canada, the US, and Mexico. Canada one of­ the best circuits in the world, and Indy, but a revised­ edition, they should add more of the super speedway,­ Mexico, that's a respectable circuit as well. Now­ for South Africa and then we'll have a real F1­ world championship, and how can their be a world­ championship with no F1 races in Africa. Maybe Bernie­ might consider Eygpt, and run part of the circuit­ through King Tut's pyramid, at least they won't­ have to look far for sand for their sand traps, but I­ hope they refine the sand, a dead mummy might be in the­ sand.

  14. @ Harleyboy. 5o cars, 50 tracks and 50 first turns even­ the last car on the pole will be visible at the first­ turn. lol.

  15. I have herd that the price of the F1 passes are being­ increased to meet the demands of Bernie's greaddy­ cash grab to bring the show over to Canada , I'll­ go again but there better be some passing on the track­ dam it!!!!!!!!

    Francis S. ANYTIME.........................Invite is­ good, always. Remember, no cheap wine or beer or food­ on my table. Get your motorcycle license and we can­ ride out to Indy on the bikes, seeing as how I got 2.

  17. best F1 drivers as of now in my opinion, driver skill­ right now
    Hamilton, Massa, Kimi, Alonso, Rubens,­ don't care too much about ranking the rest

    From Gti, on Tue 15 Sep 3:17AM
  18. I dont think Button is excited at all, I think he is­­ absolutely papping his pants. Rubens ,Hamilton and­ even­ Kimmi are all much better drivers than him and­ this­ will result in Rubens taking the title!

  19. Francis, if you persist in tying to write in an­ "accent", at least get it right. The two­ wheeled machine is a "motorsickle" and­ American is "Merkin", as in a pubic wig!
    The­ writen language is largely the same, despite your­ attempts to write as though you are some kind of Yankee­ backwoodsman (including the bad spelling and grammar).­ Quelle wanquer, as the French might say.
